The ClientRedesigning A Gaming Controller
The Start – Lance CarrPaintings
The DiseaseRedesigning A Gaming Controller
Muscular dystrophy Progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal
muscles that control movement Disorders differ in terms of the distribution and extent
of muscle weakness, age of onset, rate of progression, and pattern of inheritance
No specific treatment to stop or reverse any form of MD
Some cases may be mild and progress very slowly over a normal lifespan, while others produce severe muscle weakness, functional disability, and loss of the ability to walk

Possible Future Design Routes Optical Technology Emotiv Touch Screen
Our PlanRedesigning A Gaming Controller
Retrofit – Push Buttons Will be aimed at limited motion, such as those with
Muscular Dystrophy Uses existing controller to generate outputs. We designed a mechanical assistance for button.

Our PlanRedesigning A Gaming Controller
Retrofit – Radial Similar to push button retrofit Create a radial array of buttons Use the edge of a disk to press buttons Wire these buttons into an existing controller

Optical Technology X-Y control
Like an optical mouse Texture Mapping
Move the sensor over different patterns, each one representing a different command for the controller.
Touch Screens Puck Capacitor Array
